Re: Euthanasia, a right to die with dignity
[ QUOTE ]
It would be really easy to use this as a cover up for murder. [/ QUOTE ] Which is one reason why I think assisted suicide may be OK but retain much greater reservations about euthanasia. Assisted suicide =/ euthanasia.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not aware of ANY life insurance policies that exclude suicide. There is usually a 2-year exclusionary period to prevent anti-selection, but after 2 years, the cause of death is irrelevant. Edit: In the case of a terminal illness, many (if not most) policies sold today actually allow for an acceleration of benefits. They will pay out some percentage of the proceeds in advance to help fund things like hospice care and final expenses.

Re: Euthanasia, a right to die with dignity
[ QUOTE ]
If I ever start caughing up my lungs due to terminal, malignant cancer, I sure don't need a doctor to finish me off. I'm more likely to take a hot-air balloon to altitude over the middle of the city, dump out a bag full of encrypted maps to buried treasure, and then jump headfirst from altitude into the 50 yard line of a college football game as it's being televised live. At least, this seems the most interesting way to check out as of right now... [/ QUOTE ] I sure you hope you aren't invalid or otherwise incapacitated. It would make it hard to get into that balloon.
